SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL BIODIVERSITY VARIATIONS IN A HIGH MOUNTAIN ENVIRONMENT: THE CASE OF THE PROGLACIAL MARGIN OF THE EVETTES, NATURA 2000 AREA (SAVOIE, FRENCH ALPS)

The aim of this paper is to Services contribute to the understanding of the changes in plant cover after the recent glacier retreat, in an alpine environment.The selected study site in Savoie in the French Alps (2502-2509m asl), belonging to the European network Natura 2000, provides favourable conditions for the study due to the flat glacier forel

The ongoing research in Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) is contributed to in this paper.Specifically, this study investigates supersonic flow in a nozzle aperture under low-pressure conditions at the continuum mechanics boundary.This phenomenon is prevalent in the differentially pumped chamber of an ESEM, which separates two regio

Abstract To meet the needs of automated medical analysis of brain tumor magnetic resonance imaging, this study introduces an enhanced instance segmentation method built upon mask region-based convolutional neural network.By incorporating squeeze-and-excitation networks, a channel attention mechanism, and concatenated attention neural network, a spa

Previous work has shown that Suc1/Cks proteins can promote the hyperphosphorylation of primed Cdk1 substrates through the formation of ternary K2 Cdk1-Cks-phosphosubstrate complexes.This raises the possibility that Cks proteins might be able to both facilitate and interfere with hyperphosphorylation through a mechanism analogous to the prozone effe

This study reports on an investigation of factors affect the process of compacting Al chips which are used to direct scrap processing through the forward extrusion method.EN AW 6060 chips of different geometry and types were mainly used as the experimental material.The chips were compacted in a die with a vertical channel (10.3mm in diameter).To pr
